WHILE sharing the disappointment of many Zambians over the halting of repatriation of former President Edgar Lungu's remains back home, Secretary to the Cabinet Patrick Kangwa says Government is open to re-engaging the bereaved family.

Zambians were left in shock yesterday after the Lungu family announced that the body of the late former President would not be repatriated from South Africa.

The body of Mr Lungu, who died in South Africa on June 5 while seeking treatment, was scheduled to arrive at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport(KKIA), Lusaka, at 14:00 yesterday.

But family spokesperson Makebi Zulu announced that the repatriation would not be possible, citing failure by Government to adhere to an agreement regards the funeral programme.

This left Zambians and even the South Africans disappointed considering that the neighbouring country's government had stationed it's military personnel at their airport to conduct a military send off for Mr Lungu's remains.

Last evening, Mr Kangwa said in a statement that the development was unexpected.

"This is not the outcome we sought. We acknowledge the disappointment this may bring to many, and we share in that sentiment," Mr Kangwa said.

"Throughout this trying time, you, the Zambian people, have exemplified the core values that define us in our motto of "One Zambia, One Nation".

He said, however, that Government remains open to re-engaging the Lungu family until an amicable resolution is achieved.

Mr Kangwa added that President Hakainde Hichilema will also address the nation and provide guidance over the issue at an appropriate time.

He further urged Zambians to remain prayerful, united, calm and and avoid speculation during this period of mourning for Mr Lungu.

"We are grateful for the continued mediation by senior church leaders who are faithfully serving as neutral facilitators between Government and the family. Their counsel and prayers are most welcome at this delicate hour," he said.

Mr Kangwa appealed to Zambians to avoid speculations and divisive to talk.

"Let us avoid speculation, divisive rhetoric, or actions that may inflame emotions. Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu served this nation at the highest level. He deserves a final resting place marked by dignity, decorum, and national solidarity," he said.

"The Government will continue its consultations with the family, mindful of the need to accord our late former President the honour commensurate with his office and service," he said.
